[Launchpad Bug Tracker <859396@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-screensaver - 3.2.0-1ubuntu5

---------------
gnome-screensaver (3.2.0-1ubuntu5) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/20_remove_wrong_timeout.patch: remove old upper timeout
    limit that was incorrectly calculating minutes instead of seconds. This
    was causing the screen blanking to come up after 8 minutes, even if the
    preference was set to longer. (LP: #859396)

Title:
  gnome-screensaver locks after approx 10 minutes  even if user settings
  are specify longer

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-screensaver” source package in Oneiric:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-screensaver” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After setting a screen lock timeout of, for example, 1 hour the screen
  still locks after approx 10 minutes.

  Looking at the code it appears gnome-screensaver puts an upper bound
  on the lock timeout of 480 seconds (8 minutes), so user preferences of
  1 hour will not function as expected.

  I see no reason for an upper bound of 8 minutes, and this contradicts
  the available options anyway.
